According to a preliminary estimate by the Ministry of Finance, Israel's budgetary costs for the war with Iran total 35 billion shekels, of which 22 billion are allocated to defense. Officials state that this amount has already been included in the 2026 budget, thereby formally planning war expenditures in future public finances. The estimated costs largely align with U.S. assessments of its own expenditures during the conflict. Meanwhile, Iran has estimated its war losses at $145 billion, according to available open-source-based estimates. As noted in the explanations, the U.S. figure does not cover the full costs of the war but was presented to legislators who requested more detailed information on the conflict's expenses. This further highlights the difference between directly budgeted expenditures and the total financial burden the war imposes on all involved parties.
